Off Track….literally

May 6, 2011

Yes….this is my second quilt top in these colors in two weeks, but I really love these colors together!!! This top is from a pattern/quilt I made for the Robert Kaufman booth at market. My husband named it Off Track.

Only after basting half of it did I finally notice that it really is off track… See?

How in the heck did I miss that???!!!! Luckily the “oops” block was in the bottom row so it was an easy unpick…but still worth a grumble and rolling of the eyes by yours truly.

Wow, so now we know you are not perfect! I feel so much better. Just kidding, I would have changed it too, it would have bugged me. It is a beautiful quilt, I love the pattern too, it really shows off the fabrics.

beautiful! what i love the most about denyse schmidt's collections is how they work together as a whole… individually i don't always see how the fabrics are going to work together to be magic, but they always are! and your additional selections just add to that magic.

Very cute- and I echo others' comments about the colors. I like it a lot. And what's up with those blocks that just don't end up in the right place??? HAHA! I just hate it when you get something all "completed" only to find out something moved when you weren't looking. ;)

I love this quilt! I would not have noticed either had you not put big black arrows there. I love these different colors and see many that I have. I wondered about this pattern but now I will buy it. See what a great quilter and inspiration you are!

Alison, I know by the time you read this, it will have been unpicked and fixed. I thought I'd share that in some sewing circles, my families included, purposeful mistakes are made in all our quilts. I reminds us that only God can make something perfect. It's an old tradition that I enjoy using today. It reminds me who is really in control.
